Well, to be honest, even tho we release it in forehand we cant include all info as they are parts of something bigger. so "that is all they've done?" comments are quite misleading and should be avoided. |

Well, I could be really snide and sarcastic about all this, but I know how hard it is to do a site like this or mine, and that no matter how long you work on it, it will never be finished, and making the decision to launch or not in an unfinished state is a big one and has benefits and consequences: Benefits: 1) get user feedback - always a good thing 2) keep your users happy 3) you keep up-to-date on the site content Consequences: 1) It's been delayed a long time... people are expecting a lot, and launching unfinished might alientate some users 2) Launching incomplete has a tendency to complicate things in terms of changes to content, etc. - once it's up, it can be hard to pull it back for maintenance, redesign, etc. 3) Because of the long wait and anticipation that's built up, what has been done might be underwhelming and again alienate users. I think it would be good to launch and get user feedback and go from there... at least then people would rally behind you more than they already do (which is a good thing). However, if it's no more than Aphextwin.nu, Autechre.nu and your old Plaid site repackaged, people might be upset (I'm sure it's much, much more than that though). I think you should launch it, in whatever state it's in - after all, I launched with literally 2% content and I managed to work things out allright (I think). I'm still not done either! :) Best of luck in whatever you decide Phob! |

REcycle-youre bad! It will come sooner than you think....patience, take yer time :D |

agreed, i think you're too affraid people will be disappointed phob, but knowing a lot of members here a little, they will appreciate everything that has been done and give constructive feedback on some parts i hope you let the poll-result/the members make the decision (not that you should, after all it's your project, but still i hope you will) |

thanks joyrex: >Benefits: 1) get user feedback - always a good thing yes 2) keep your users happy yes 3) you keep up-to-date on the site content hmmm.... Consequences: 1) It's been delayed a long time... people are expecting a lot, and launching unfinished might alientate some users yes, it'll be a nice filter. 2) Launching incomplete has a tendency to complicate things in terms of changes to content, etc. - once it's up, it can be hard to pull it back for maintenance, redesign, etc. not in this case... 3) Because of the long wait and anticipation that's built up, what has been done might be underwhelming and again alienate users. expectations sucks. get the whole-lot alive, would put pressure on us to work even harder and it's easier to make priorities on what the users really need. |

I hope it's like Ovuca's website. This is obviously me being an idiot |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we havent even got minor inspiration from no other sites out there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I 100% agree Phob - what I meant about keeping your site content up-to-date is in relation to news... it's hard to add content like that after the fact, as it's lost some of it's relevance. You've lost out on more than a year's of electronic music events and news (both big and small), and I think the users here would appreciate reading the news here and on my site to get the both of best worlds. And yes, expectations do suck, but that's what life's all about - what you have to decide is how important your expectations versus someone elses' are to you. And yes, launching would make you work a lot harder in getting it done, and also to decide what's important. Although it does give you gray hair (you don't even wanna see pics of me now since watmm launched) :) |

yes. launch now. everything joyrex mentioned is probably true. but, as of right now this site is dead in the water (as far as content goes). and since no one is sure of how much longer it'll be until the site is launch worthy. i say any taste at all of what the future holds will breathe much needed life into the site, generate buzz, generate trafic, and be neat overall. |

No...you see. what i meant was, i want it to be like Ovuca's site (this is a joke as Ovuca's site has nothing on it). i really want Xltronic to come up. Like i really really do. I would just be happy if i saw the layout. But the thing is (i feel) is that no matter how amazing the site is. the messageboard is probably the first thing im going to go to. |

Last statement subject to change |

I haven't given my word yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have no idea what I meant by that or why it was a reply to you mate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The first picture of Joyrex i have seen. I may just explode. Joyrex has always remained elusive behind his DJ Cartoon. Yep...here i go =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was posted on watmm mb some months ago, so i guess its kinda official, its not that i've dig up some old shit and revealing a secret. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Awww man, why'd you have to go and post that crappy old pic of me? :) I actually have less gray hair than that... but it won't be long before I do! I'll have to post the updated pic of me that my son took - it's pretty cool (I think). We're getting off the subject though.... :) So make it official and launch August 7th, 2003 - after all, last year you said August 7th, just not what year ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
should i add joyrex's pic to ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol, grandpa Joyrex !! classic :0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remember thinking how much Joyrex looks like my mate Ben, and here I am again doing the same dang thing. Not sure about that purple rinse though ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, and to add, if there is one thing that seemed to annoy visitors to my site more than anything, it's dead/broken links - at least make them go to a "coming soon" or a blank template page so people don't get as disappointed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
YES ! can you also add me ? <-----------here i am. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
done and done recycle |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good lord no... add my cartoon DJ pic :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok the cartoon pic then :) |
||||||||
|

http://knupsselesu.mysite.freeserve.com/page4.html Add me too aquagak, im the third one down on the right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i cast my vote with joyrex. set a date, make it live, and every dead link should point to a single 'coming soon' page with a hillarious picture, and a witty tag line. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
me too im with joyrex and epohs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
same here |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its quite simple to deal with. a sweet 404 page. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So what's the chances we will see a Xltronic tomorrow Phob? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
let me put it this way... releasing xltronic tomorrow would be similiar to run the 100 m final in the olympic games with the knowledge you haven't even left your bed during the past 3 months. very frustrating. thats how i feel. on the other hand. there are loads of goods things to! like participating in the olympics! imagine that! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know you can do better, but you have to run in your current condition. frustrating! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
give in to the majority |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe you could just release a bit that HAS been finished |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
everything's integrated.... but we'll try to separate stuff. if we NOW decide to release it. it hasn't been decided yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dischography maybe? I can wait asa long as it takes though... I know it will be worth the wait |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just let me view it and no-one else so i can feel good about myself for 5 seconds |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now youve brought it up phobia0, you Have to put it up :) |
